sad What's with my login?

BOINC manager is running on my system but when I try to login to my account on the website I get a message that no account exists by that name. When I check in at the World Community Grid it has my user name and password, neither of which work on my BOINC website page.
HELP!!!!!!!!!

Re: What's with my login?

Re: What's with my login?

WCG requires userid but most other BOINC projects use email as signin id.

Re: What's with my login?

Same problem here. I can only run WCG on 1 of my 3 Android devices. The other 2 says my "account does not exist". Have not experienced this with other BOINC projects on this platform. Only one 'android' listed in my Device Manager. Why not 3?

Re: What's with my login?

It's an old problem, thus a persistent bug in the Berkeley client. First try attaching/adding another project that has the same email address as what's used to register the account at WCG or use email address instead of user name. Then, try WCG add again with member name (Tried and tested by quite a few as can be found on these forums)

If you have not successfully added WCG to your other 2 Androids, then you got the answer to why only 1 is showing and not 3. cool

Re: What's with my login?

Ah, this bug. Gotta love this one, ya know? What SekeRob suggests always worked for me before, but also trying to purposely log in with the wrong pass sometimes works too.
